One of the best people I have ever met. I will miss his sense of humor and that laugh. He was one of those people that watched out for those he care about and I feel blessed to have known him all these many years. My deepest condolences to his family. Zac, your Daddy was the type of person we should all aspire to be.

So sorry for your loss. He was a great guy and went above and beyond for us when we bought our house. I am originally from South Bend so we had some great discussions about Notre Dame football as well!

I was in a BNI networking group with Scott and I liked him and knew he was a friend to all from that first handshake. He was always willing to help and was a great listener and Person. He was so Proud of his Son and his family. This world could use a whole lot more Scott Zhender’s. I am so sorry for your loss and will be praying for you all in the weeks and months ahead.

I worked with Scott years ago at Service Merchandise. Every once in a while we would meet at a friends house to watch the fights or play games. I know Scott was a dedicated father and all around great guy, he will be missed. I would like to offer my condolences to his family.

Ed,
Anyone who knows you knows how you love and care for your family. Scott is fortunate to be loved by you! In the words of author Lyn Ragan, “Love lives forever and so do our souls.”
Praying for Peace and comfort for you and your family.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m truly going to miss you Scott. We had fun times together working at K-Mart in Hendersonville. My only regret is that I didn’t come back to home to Hendersonville to see you and your family. RIP Scott love you like my brother.

Scott was such a kind, caring person. I am so sad to hear this news. He was one of my dearest friends for years. The years we worked together at Kay were the best times. He would do anything to help someone. God Bless! Condolences to his family and friends. It’s a sadder world without Scott in it!

I am sorry for your loss and for all of our loss he was one of the best people i have ever known and i am proud to say one of my best friends i wish we would have kept in touch more i just saw him and Zachary a few weeks ago
God Bless you and your family

Scott was one of the first people I met when I moved to Hendersonville in 1976. We remained friends through graduation and although we hadn’t seen each other much recently, when we did we always laughed about the good ole days. He was as genuine as they come. RIP friend!
